Football finale
It’s the most exciting Premier finish in years but are the public really engaged?
High ticket prices, VAR – and the rarity of a key match on the traditional kick off time of 3 pm – have all estranged the public.
In the week I saw my optometrist, a visit with his son and friend to Arsenal did not give him much change from a grand.
Like many it is the sofa for me and the match on the telly.
I preferred to watch England’s thrilling display against Ireland in the Six Nations to Brentford v Arsenal and am a big fan of the excitement and entertainment of Bazball.
In football it’s no longer about being a loyal fan – a club does not make enough money from one – but rather a consumer.
It’s about maximising revenue from the stadium but be careful: fans are not stupid and, if you estrange them, they may not come back.
